Whilst taking apart and putting back together my part built Indy i found that someone has drilled an odd hole in one of the uprights next to the pinch bolt that hold in the mushroom adapter.
Is is ruined?

That’s a lovely clear picture of those gloves 
Why can't you just grind the surface back a bit till its level again? Loads off metal there, though difficult to say just how deep that is from
the front

yeek! I thought the hole was the bit in yellow! Not the one in red 
that’s weird, why on earth would someone do that??
hmm not sure now, I wouldn't use it. I'd use the premise that if an MOT tester saw that he would fail that part, end of story.

I can only assume someone was trying to free a seized bolt?
Thanks, I thought as much.
Anyone got a spare drivers side upright hanging around?
I actually have one, just one but I'm not sure which side it is, which way is the steering lug go, front or back? It's in good nick and
painted blue . I'll find it tonight when I get home and let you know if you have not found one by then.
Here's a picture of the offending Sierra upright.
Steering lug goes forward.
If you have one I'd certainly be very interested. I suspect P&P may be i bit horrendous?

Hang on a minute Mr Whippy, you can't take the wee out of his upright for being green!
Yours is pink and baby blue!
Always knew you were a bit weird

Ahhh, what were the chances of that happening? ;-)
Thanks for looking!
It's black in real life, just another great camera phone shot.

ah but it was blue till it got a bit oversprayed, it's the camera honest 
Personally i wouldn't worry about it. Will it still pinch the mushroom and have a humungous safety factor due to it being a massive lump of
over-engineered-for-purpose production car? Yes.
But then if you're personally not confident, there's nothing worse than driving around with the niggling doubt that your suspension wont
stay in one piece.

Tend to agree with Liam, but you need to be happy with it...
